Three Phases of Awesome.

So for Mother's Day my sister asked that I put together some sort of fruit dish for the brunch she is hosting. I searched my favorite food blogs and came across a Simple Lemon-Strawberry Parfait.

Phase 1: Wednesday night I whipped up the Microwave Lemon Curd...probably the simplest thing I've ever made. It was absolutely divine and I've decided I need to keep this around all the time.

Phase 2: The recipe gave the option for a purchased pound cake, which would make it simpler, or a homemade one. I, of course, choose to make one. So Saturday morning I made a Condensed Milk Pound Cake from the same food blog. Of course, as soon as it cooled I cut off a slice and smothered it in the Lemon Curd.

Phase 3: Saturday night I preped everything for the next day and of course threw a couple together as testers to enjoy before the big day.

I whipped up my own cream, cut up some strawberries, and pulled out the Lemon Curd.

I cut up my pound cake into nice little circles to sit down into my chosen serving dishes.
